Hi Twystd,
That Papst motor is a three phase delta wired motor. Connect one of the leads to one side of the AC line. Connect the second lead to the other side of the line to the second motor lead and to one terminal of the phase capacitor. Connect the third motor lead to the other side of the capacitor. If the rotation is what you want make a note of those connections and you are done. If the rotation is reverse of what you want, leave the connections from the motor to the cap as they are and move the second AC lead to the opposite side of the cap.
If you have not received to motor as yet you will find that the belt pulley is machined into the motor shaft and has a crown to keep the belt running true. Even if you are a skilled machinist or have a friend who is I'm guessing getting the platter on speed is going to be a challenge. You may save yourself a lot of aggravation by looking for a variable frequency drive to power the motor. I believe you will need 20 to 30 Watts.
